Or utterly unromantic. I went to see Brokeback Mountain last weekend, and despite being totally surprised at the gay cowboys part of it, I really didn't care for it much at all. I just can't feel sorry for a man whose problems are all of his own making. He spends his whole freakin' life making sure that everyone around him is as miserable as he is. And the other guy (Jack, I think his name was) is just so bloody whiny that I wanted to reach into the screen and slap him. Grow some freakin' balls, man!
Sure, it's sad that he can't be with his boyfriend and that he dies so young, but there were options. He chose to be miserable. And gay or not, it isn't ok, in my books, to spend years cheating on your wife. I am sure that it will win all kinds of awards at the oscars. And I know that a lot of people so far seem to think it is a masterpeice, and on a strictly technical level, I agree. However, I just cannot connect to a movie when both of the main characters are really so utterly unlikable. But, like I said, it is probably me.
